Wrong concept. Luxury Ball doubles happiness gained by levelling up, walking and other activities which increase happiness, NOT the base happiness that the Pokemon begins with after being caught or traded away.

PS: There is another variant of Poke Balls which actually alters base happiness, it is the Friend Ball. Pokemon caught by Friend Balls have their happiness value instantly set to 200, but Friend Ball is not in PBB yet.
